Seahawks at Cardinals — Here’s another Thursday night gem in Week 7. A team with arguably the best pass defense in the league against a team that couldn’t hit sand if it threw off a camel. Prediction: 55-7 in the second quarter.

By the way in the article they predict us to be 10-1 or 9-2 at the start of the season.

I can honestly see us undefeated going into Candlestick next year. Our biggest road blocks are Houston and Atlanta before then.

If you watched Houston play last year, they **** the bed against top teams in the league. That team doesnt scare me at all. And we know how the Atlanta game turned out last year. We were a better team than them last year and right now we looked like we've vastly improved over them heading into 2013.

I'm thinking 7-4 is a realistic goal. I predict most of the board will be melting down if that happens, however. What I'll hate is everyone saying we can't win road games and pooh poohing the 10 am disadvantage as excuse making. In that respect, it will be a frustrating year. But we'll make the playoffs, maybe not win the division since the Niners have such an easier schedule, despite playing nearly all the same teams.

Richard Sherman doesn't just wanna get in your head, he wants to build a vacation home there.

R. Sherman: "I don't want to be an island. I want to be a tourist attraction. You come, I take your money & you go."

Even if this team gets down, they have the confidence that they can come back. Look at the two deficits they came back from, on the road, in the playoffs. If they can do that, they can do damn near anything they want.

We have a swagger we've never had before. I'm frantically working on tempering my optimism.

We really need to stop with the slow starts, though. Look at how we started both playoff games last year...Against an actual good opponent, we couldn't quite eek out a win at Atlanta after spotting them so many points.

It's in Darrell Bevell's hands...I hope he's up to it. We're more skilled than ever on offense now, and we haven't even drafted, yet. With how good our team is now in all three phases, we shouldn't ever start a game down 14 points.
